Sunday, December 19:
Returned home after almost 11 hours of driving. Long day with 566 miles to cover per Google Maps. Nothing like the distances covered by RichardM while retrieving his new Jeep from WA to FL, but still, long enough for me. Came home to no snow, and the usual snow falls haven't happened. Heck, the temperatures are comparable to what I was experiencing in New Mexico!
A bit over 2130 miles round-trip by the VRRV with the Sammy in tow; according to Google Maps anyways....next time I must remember to write down starting mileage for the VRRV.
47 nights camping this trip.
It works out to roughly $37/day.....I'm thinking the only way to draw down this figure is to stay longer at each stop on the next trip. The longest I stayed at one spot (Dragoon Mountains) was 13 days. The usual limit for such camping is 14 days (sometimes shorter depending on local BLM/USFS policy).
Then again, costs are well within budget.....perhaps I need to quit overthinking things and just enjoy the solitude of my type of camping. This was the first camping trip where I zealously tracked each and every expense, not sure I'll do it again. Ignorance can be bliss, right?

Welcome home Dom enjoy the holidays and Merry Christmas to you and the Chang Gang. I have kept track of travels before but never calculated anything once home, good intensions gone awry. Good for you for following thru.
Thanks Spat, Merry Christmas to you and Cookie.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU, MARTHA AND THE BOYS.
May 2022 hold much travel and adventure for you.
Looks like a well planned and well spent budget, Dom. Not many people would be able to live a rich and adventurous life such as yours on less than 40 bucks a day. Enjoy your time with the family. Happy holidays.
Merry Christmas to you, Amparo and yours CCjon!
Thanks for putting it in the proper perspective, SonjaM. Merry Christmas to you and Roland.
I don’t think I’ve ever tracked expenses to that degree. And I generally prefer longer stays. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Take it from me RichardM, it's probably better to not track that closely. merry Christmas to you, Bridget and family.
